They were telling me they were breaking me down to then build me up. As I went through the process, it wasn’t adding up. Others told me they had joined for the connections after college. The big brother told me he had joined the fraternity because he had grown up with three sisters and a single mother. They were either challenged in their looks, socially awkward, or unique in their own way or had been starved of male attention or companionship. As I started the process, I noticed a void in every man I met. He did it because his father and his brother were a part of the same fraternity. I did it because my teammate asked me to do it. I decided to rush for a fraternity in college. If you get to the root of things, what sense does it make to do a lot of what we do? A man will say, “That’s just Tony’s opinion he’s only speaking for himself.” I am speaking from experience, but some truths are universal. Fear is the same reason a man will deny this truth to himself and to his woman reading this book. Yes, there are real reasons and positive reasons why we do some of these things, too, but if you dig deep enough, the root is fear-not love. Men join fraternities out of fear of being left out, ostracized, seen as uncool or unconnected. Men get tattoos out of fear of being seen as soft, uncool, or unattractive to women. Men join gangs out of fear of being bullied or fear of being seen as uncool. Some men come into this knowledge and consciously change the place from which they operate. Fear is the reason men do anything, really. Fear is the reason men join fraternities.

I’d like to explain what it is and why it is. I know every woman knows what it’s like more than I do, but I’m speaking because I was a part of the side causing the pain. This book isn’t about race relations, so I’ll speak from a male perspective about the downside of being a woman. Yet you have to suffer the consequences of which you can’t control. To be born a certain race or to be born a woman are things beyond our control. That has to be the lowest position in the world, if we’re being honest. In a lot of ways, the fights of women and people of color are similar. I can’t blame them because I’m sure I’d be upset if the world had its foot on my neck and shackles on my feet.

Most of the women I meet and see portrayed on television who are fighting against the system seem to be doing so from a place of anger and frustration. Although there’s an uprising of women who are determined to shake things up, the majority of women I meet have suppressed their inner wisdom and greatness to assume a lesser role in life. Millions of women believe the same thing. It’s a man’s world, and men have all the say in what happens. It all said that a man is the head and a woman is the tail. For thousands of years, women were suppressed to a life of being “barefoot and pregnant.” I believed everything I was taught about women and everything I saw play out in the world around me.
